Sony Xperia Sola Preview – World’s First Floating Touch Phone

                                                                                    

The floating touch technology allows for better control of the UI and gives mobile users access to hover events normally possible only on full size PC’s. This also opens up avenues for mobile gaming where floating touch offers another degree of control. The Xperia Sola also features live exclusive wallpapers that respond to floating touch. At launch, the Xperia Sola will come with Android 2.3, but an update to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) is due in the summer. This is an important update because Android 4.0 allows third party applications to make use of hover events and floating touch can be used on most applications by then. The Xperia Sola also has features such as 3D surround sound (xLoud) and access to Sony’s new entertainment network. It runs on ST Ericsson’s NovaThoa U8500 SoC (system on a chip) which includes a dual core ARM Cortex A9 processor at 1Ghz, 512MB RAM and an ARM® Mali 400 GPU along with a built in HSPA modem.
